For the record, NONE of Kerry's accusers were actually present for ANY of the incidents wherein citations were given. NONE.old salt wrote: ↑Sun Aug 18, 2024 6:07 pm Walz played the same game as Kerry, exaggerating & embellishing his military experience.
They were both caught out by fellow vets who threw the BS flag on them.
No amount of spin, smoke, vitriol, counterattacks, diversions or whataboutisms can change the facts.
As a campaign issue, this is not going away.
The childish attacks on Vance just serve to highlight the difference between a man who enlisted knowing that he would likely have to deploy to a war zone, & then fullfilled his duty, vs a man who chose to avoid deployment to a war zone, after he had assumed a critical position in his unit & had begun wearing a higher rank, that he had yet to fully earn. Then after retirement, he continued to seek & enjoy the prestige of that higher rank & position, which he did not fully earn, exploiting his exaggerated service for political gain. Thank you for your service, Master Sergeant Walz.
Shades of lying don't cut it except to you perhaps. Those are the FACTS. Yours are part of the original BS.

Sadly, we live in a country where it is SOP to denigrate the military service of ANY person running for office and often include veterans.
They did it to Bob Kerrey as well back in 2001 and he wasn't running for ANYTHING. He was accused by a single fellow soldier who wanted his help to get MoH and was angry over not getting one.
